Our Verdict

Roborock Qrevo S

Shark PowerDetect RV2820ZE

The Roborock Qrevo S is a slightly better robot vacuum than the Shark PowerDetect RV2820ZE. Performance is about the same, but the Roborock is better built and easier to maintain. The Shark's tiny dirt compartment and lower dirt capacity in the dock mean both will fill up more quickly. Also, the very basic SharkClean app can't hope to match the full-featured, excellent Roborock app.
